Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Garb changed my life and I am forever grateful. He is consistently intuitive, compassionate, knowledgeable, and kind. His many years of experience are balanced by being well-informed about recent research and advancements. He has been such a force for good in my life that I want to encourage others to see him. In a word, he is outstanding.

Dr. Garb called in the incorrect medication dosage for my son. When we called his office to inform them of this a girl by the name of Donna said '"Just tell him to try it." I asked her, "Are you a doctor?" Amazing that some non-doctor girl on the phone is suggesting my son take the incorrect dosage of medication. Donna said she would get back to us and they never have. The correct medications haven't been called in still. $325 cash for first visit and $150 for a 25 min phone conversation.

Incredibly intuitive diagnostician, compassionate, deeply knowledgeable about medication regimens. He has helped several of my clients whose depression didn’t respond well to the medication they were on.

He is brilliant in figuring out the issues and treating with medication and therapy if needed. He has gotten to know me well over the years and can tell when I am "off". He has saved my life more than once and I am forever grateful to him.

I had been to two other DR. trying to get my life on track. Dr. Garb listened to my issues and prescribed a med that caused me to try and commit suicide earlier in my life. I told him of my problem with that med in the past he listened and said I still need to take the med. But he also prescribed two other meds to take with them. I was very nervous about the whole situation but I trusted him from the start. After a few weeks and no bad side effects I started to feel like myself. he saved my life

Very caring doctor. Remembers the important details. Office scheduling leaves a bit to be desired. Nice new offices.
